Is it worth focusing on the S-curve when learning to swim? The answer is simple – no. The most important building blocks when learning freestyle are breathing into the water and body position. Once you have these down pat and have mental space to think about what you’re doing underwater, rather than just fighting for every breath, then yes, you can start focusing on it. Until then, it’s not worth it.

I recommend choosing color printing (the image gets lost in black and white), placing it in a sheet protector, and taking it directly to the pool.
